July 7 - 11 9 AM-4 PM Digital Storytelling

This is the class you have been waiting for! Each person owns stories that arise from living a full life. Sharing these experiences connects people at the visceral level and helps create healthy communities. Learn to combine your stories with images and music through digital technology. Learn to use Photoshop and digital video editing programs. Walk away from the program with a digital story that you may put up on the web and share with family and friends on DVD.
